    I am riding to Melb and return in August 2010, the first part of my trip will be as part of the annual border run with some mates leaving on Fri 6 Aug.

    I will then leave the border on the morning of Sun 8 Aug heading for firstly Geelong and then I will go to the other side of Melb to the small town of Garfield, stay a week with my old man and tehn return.

    What I am after is a good route from Pt Augusta to Tailem Bend.  Would it be quicker to go through Adelaide or some other route??

     

    Thanks

    Bob

    After you rest -up, feast, and drink yourself merry at our place (Northern approaches to Adelaide) I will escort you the best way to Murray Bridge via the Hills.

    Have a safe trip mate.

    Well Winnie we sure will have some stories to tell because I was in C Sqn 1 AR then!!! I was Cpl at the time, was 1 of the first crews to do the cross training on to Leopard, Woomera in '77 etc.  Be good to catch up with you. Drop me a PM and we will swap details. See you at the border as well .
